He estimates there are more than 1000 wild dogs roaming the Pioneer Valley, killing livestock and family pets every night.

Mr Norris, who is also a former professional kangaroo shooter, recently came under fire from Brisbane-based environmental organisation National Dingo Day after a photo of one of his kills was posted on the internet.

The image showed three dead puppies shot by Mr Norris on a property in the Pioneer Valley.

A hunter with a meticulous tracking technique, Mr Norris said he was sick of people with no experience or knowledge accusing him of animal cruelty.

With his 6.5 Mauser in tow, Mr Norris spends hours tracking the dogs, which can have a home range of more than 40 square kilometres, through thick scrub, inspecting droppings and paw prints. He often brings no more than five rounds on a hunt, and says he spends more time bushwalking than shooting.

He even howls to draw the dogs out from their hiding places.

"People just need to listen to what the farmers have to say," Mr Norris said.

"It's a massive problem."

And with breeding season just around the corner, it's one that isn't going away any time soon.

"When you walk up the paddock and there's a baby calf with its back end ripped open from dingoes ... it's so upsetting, it really is," Mrs Tutton said.
